a ssd and a larger monitor is probably my upgrade for 2013
I will get a new graphics card, I am considering Asus, HD7970-DC2-3GD5
Not much on the agenda really, still very happy with my current PC.
There's a very faint possibility of a 27" 2560*1440 monitor, but I doubt it. They'd have to come down to maybe £200 before I'd definitely do it.
A new motherboard as mine on occasion doesn't like to return out of sleep and crashes.
Already done - new case, PSU & larger SSD. Also another 10TB for my file server.
I want a new case, and the Carbide 200R looks like the kind of budget case that would fit my needs. Originally I planned to buy that plus a cheap USB 3 card to hook to its front ports, but then I won 16GB of DDR3, and since I still have a DDR2 motherboard, I figured that while I'm upgrading the case I might as well get a new 970 or 990 motherboard for my Phenom II X6.
New graphics card an Nvidia 670 is on the list to replace my 560Ti.
Might just put 8GB of ram in my i5 laptop, lol!
Graphics for me as well but not just yet. Getting a DAB radio fitted to my bimmer first
I want to install windows 8 on a 256gb SSD, other than that I always want an upgrade. As Jeremy Clarkson would put it, More Power!
Can anyone suggest a reasonable (sub £200) Nvidia card? I'm more than happy with AMD, but I'm going green because the future of my job is looking to include some CUDA work and I want to have a play with it. So, needs to have better performance than a HD4870 which - tbh - handles everything I throw at it with aplomb. Obviously it's for playing games too, but I'm working through my Steam back catalogue before I buy new stuff - latest love is Borderlands 2, but that's not particularly taxing (I can run it on a four year old Macbook windowed without any real problems).
I'm out of the loop entirely on this, but I would assume that the current mid range Nvidia cards will be reasonable?
Otherwise I don't think I need anything except more space on the desktop (already at 5TB) or possibly cloning my Windows drive to a 256GB SSD.
